EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Prior to human occupation, lowland Kāpiti Coast District comprised areas of dunes, dune, riparian and lowland forest, and wetlands. Less than 6% of these indigenous vegetation types remains within the relevant ecological districts and only about 22% of the Tararua foothill forest still exists within the Wellington Region. Much of the lowland areas are categorised as Acutely Threatened and Chronically Threatened Land Environments. The urban areas of Kāpiti Coast District all occur in these lowland areas where indigenous vegetation is significantly reduced from its original extent. Thus indigenous vegetation within the urban areas is threatened at national, regional and district levels.

Trees in an urban landscape are important for a variety of reasons; ecological as well as aesthetic, economic, and cultural. The most ecologically valuable trees are found within ecological sites, which are remnants of original forests. These areas reflect the underlying historical vegetation pattern, are reservoirs of genetic variability within a species and provide habitat for flora and fauna. Ecological sites are considered to be significant under S.6 of the RMA and meet Policy 23 of the Regional Policy Statement for the Wellington Region, as well as Policy 3.11 of the Proposed District Plan.

In addition to ecological sites there are smaller groups of trees and isolated trees which were also part of the original forest. These trees or groups of trees usually comprise or include large old trees. These large old trees are disproportionally important because they:

 Reflect the underlying historic pattern;  Contribute to the species’ genetic diversity;  Some are nationally at risk species;  Often form the core in linkages and stepping stone habitat between ecologically important areas which encourages the flow of species;  Many occur adjacent, or close, to ecological sites and therefore buffer these sites - as per PDP Policy 3.12(c);  Provide habitats for a whole suite of species, from soil micro-organisms and fungi, to invertebrates, lizards, birds, hole nesting species and epiphytic plant species; and  Provide large quantities of food for fauna.

Due to changes to the Resource Management Act, ‘blanket’ tree protection rules for urban areas, such as those in the Operative District Plan and the 2012 Proposed District Plan, will lapse on 4 September 2015. This report reviews the merits of trees proposed for inclusion in Schedules 3.1 (ecological sites) and 3.2 (key indigenous trees) as the basis for considering whether any trees or groups of trees should be listed in District Plan schedules in the form required by Section 76 of the RMA.

The Kāpiti Coast District has a good dataset on the location of important indigenous vegetation and trees. This includes information for all ecological sites listed in the Proposed District Plan Schedule 3.1. These data describe the main canopy components for each ecological site, but not in sufficient detail to identify which species occur on a particular urban allotment. Of 153 ecological sites 13 include trees on urban allotments. In 2015 a further survey was undertaken to identify the tree species within each urban allotment for these 13 ecological sites.

In addition a 2010 survey of urban areas identified and described indigenous and exotic trees that could be of importance within the urban area. The assessment included species, height and circumference, and an assessment of biological importance (the biodiversity score), as well as other parameters. Trees were ranked highly if they were:

 Locally indigenous;  Canopy or emergent species;  Had a high national threat classification;  Had slow or moderate growth rate;  Were large trees;  Occurred in proximity to other trees or ecological sites;  Were expected to occur at that location.

These were found to be appropriate criteria for selecting potential candidate species for potential protection within urban areas of the Kāpiti Coast District with the addition of the following provisos; that the species:

 Had low levels of natural establishment in urban environment; and  Were not commonly planted in gardens.

There are two threatened species that are trees. Large-leaved milk tree (Streblus banksii, At Risk-Relict) has been included as a candidate species because it is a nationally threatened tree species.

A recent (2014) taxonomic revision of kānuka (Kunzea species) has resulted in the description of ten different species throughout New Zealand. One of these species occurs within Kāpiti Coast District and is considered to be nationally threatened (At Risk- Declining). However, this level of detail is not included in the 2010 Urban Tree Database (since it pre-dates the taxonomic revision) thus it is recommend that a separate study be undertaken to identify which kānuka trees in the 2010 Urban Tree Database are the nationally threatened coastal kānuka species (Kunzea amathicola), and then undertake a further variation of Schedule 3.2 to include identified kānuka.

Eight options for urban tree protection have been identified and formed the basis for the options considered in the 11 August 2015 recommending report to the Kāpiti Coast Council (Document SP-15-1666).

It is recommended Option 3 for ecological sites is adopted and that Schedule 3.1 of the Proposed District Plan be amended to include, for each allotment that contains part of an ecological site, a list of tree species over 4m in height. Unless Option 3 is implemented trees on urban allotments within ecological sites in the PDP will not be assured of regulatory protection.

It is also recommend that Option 7 (trees in the 2010 Urban Tree Database with a biodiversity score of at least 8) is the most practical and effective option to identify urban trees that warrant protection, or for a less conservative outcome, Option 6 (trees in the 2010 Urban Tree Database with a biodiversity score of 10 or a circumference of at least 180 cm). These options are supported for the following reasons:

 Option 7 protects important trees that have biodiversity scores of 8 or greater but do not occur in ecological sites. This approach is supported because it captures a reasonable number of individuals of the slow growing and a greater number of specimens of rare indigenous tree species than other options considered. Many of these trees occur in groups or in proximity to ecological sites, which will assist with maintaining ecological processes and biodiversity in urban areas and helps to fulfil Proposed District Plan policy 3.12(c) with regards to buffering vegetation.  Option 6 proposes to protect the highest value trees (score of 10, trunk circumference >180 cm), that do not occur in ecological sites. However, this option will, for some species include only a few individuals (less than 10 trees for 10 of the candidate species, and none for four others).

A non-regulatory approach (Options 1 and 2) is not likely to effectively protect important indigenous trees, and planting of indigenous trees cannot easily replace the values of large old indigenous trees that are lost. Planted trees do not need to be protected (Option 4), because they have lower ecological value. Protecting all of the trees in the current Schedule 3.2 (Option 5) is overly onerous because it includes many fast-growing and ‘weedy’ indigenous species that do not warrant protection. Option 8 would undertake a separate evaluation of trees under Option 6 and protect qualifying evaluated trees in the notable tree schedule, but suffers from the same drawbacks as Option 6.

It is therefore recommended that Option 3 (ecological sites) and Option 7 (urban trees) are adopted.

It is recommended that the more pragmatic tree trimming and modification rules are adopted that includes reference to the Arboriculture Association NZ best practice guideline for trimming of important trees listed in potential Proposed District Plan Schedules 3.1 and 3.2. This is a suitable and pragmatic approach to managing significant and important trees in the urban landscape, and will assist with maintenance of biodiversity in the urban environment.

On 11 August 2015 the Council voted to accept preparation of a Variation to the Proposed District Plan relating to trees on urban allotments that occur within ecological areas (Option 3), and includes most of the higher biodiversity - all candidate trees with biodiversity scores of 9 and 10. This is an intermediate position between proposed Option 6 and 7. Council also voted to accept the recommendations regarding modification and trimming of trees in urban areas.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Operative Kāpiti Coast District Plan contains rules governing the disturbance, removal, damage or destruction (“modification”) of naturally occurring indigenous vegetation and modification of naturally occurring indigenous trees greater than 4 metres in height, or which have a trunk circumference greater than 95cm measured at a point no higher than 1.4 metres above the ground, and these rules apply to both the urban and rural environment.

In 2009, the Kāpiti Coast District Council identified that existing Native Vegetation Permitted Activity Rule and Standards in its Operative District Plan were inconsistent with s.76 (4A) of the then operative Resource Management Act’s (RMA) - new restrictions on ‘blanket tree rules’ on urban allotments1. Thus in 2010, surveys of trees in the urban environment were undertaken. At the time that the Proposed District Plan (PDP) was notified (November 2012), the understanding was that the following options for tree protection were available2:

1. A cluster of trees identified precisely by location (usually by street address and/or legal description); 2. All trees of one or more named species in a defined area or zone; 3. All trees in a class with defined characteristics in a defined area or zone; 4. All trees in a named ecosystem (usually natural rather than artificial) or habitat or landscape (unit) or ecotone.

Ecological sites within the Kāpiti area were already mapped and described as defined areas, and many were already included in the Operative District Plan. Thus the Proposed District Plan Schedule 3.1 included all ecological sites within the operative plan, plus additional sites proposed and surveyed during 2007 and 2012 surveys (Wildlands 2007, 2012).

However the tree protection rules in the Operative District Plan also protect trees outside ecological areas, and in order to continue this protection the Kāpiti Coast District Council developed Schedule 3.2 ‘Key Indigenous tree species by size and ecological domain’ to identify the trees within the urban environment to which rules regarding trimming and modification would apply (3A.1.2 in the PDP).

The RMA was further amended in 2013 requiring the description of trees or groups of trees and identification of the allotment by street address or legal description of the land, or both (Sections 76(4A) to (4D) RMA 1991).

This report reviews the merits of trees proposed for inclusion in Schedules 3.1 and 3.2 as the basis for considering whether any trees or groups of trees should be listed in District Plan schedules in the form required by Section 76 of the RMA.

DRAFT

As part of the Urban Tree Variation (UTV), the Kāpiti Coast District Council has sought to inform landowners with trees potentially affected by tree trimming and modification rules and has invited feedback from these landowners and from arborists and arboricultural contractors. This feedback has informed the review of the criteria for selection of trees to be protected and the methods that could be applied to manage trimming and modification of these trees in the urban environment.

Wildland Consultants Ltd was engaged to review the ecological sites that extend onto urban allotments, identity trees on those sites, and review the PDP provisions dealing with key indigenous tree species as they relate to urban areas. This report:

 Summarises the values that trees contribute to the urban environment and which of these values warrant protection for particular trees or groups of trees;  Outlines existing ecological data for trees in the urban environment;  Reviews whether the current criteria in Schedule 3.2 (to identify trees to be protected by rules in the PDP) can be supported on the basis of ecological significance;  Considers and assesses alternative options and criteria for selecting trees for protection that are located outside ecological sites (for potential inclusion in a revised Schedule 3.2);  Reviews proposed amendments to tree trimming and modification rules for the PDP urban environments and comments on whether they are practical and enforceable.

The council also acknowledges the role of tāngata whenua in the sustainable management of the district. Since 1994, council and iwi who are: Te Ātiawa, Ngāti Raukawa through Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki and Ngāti Toarangatira have been engaged through the partnership mechanism of Te Whakaminenga o Kāpiti on matters of mutually agreed priorities. It is based on this partnership that iwi have been heavily engaged through the review of the District Plan. As part of this process, iwi developed the planning document; “Te Haerenga Whakamua. A Review of the District Plan Provisions for Māori. A Vision for the Future” (Te Haerenga Whakamua). This document articulates the values and aspirations of tāngata whenua in relation to their role as kaitiaki and informs the statements for iwi in relation to this assessment and includes regulatory and non-regulatory policies within a district planning context. Please note, this document is utilised in conjunction with on-going consultation with iwi.

2. ECOLOGICAL CONTEXT

2.1 Ecological districts

Kāpiti Coast District comprises a relatively narrow strip of land between the Tasman Sea and the spine of the Tararua Ranges. The underlying geology and the mix of coastal and mountain climates has resulted in a number of distinct ecological districts within Kāpiti District, including parts of the Foxton, Manawatu Plains, Tararua,

DRAFT

Wellington, and Cook Strait Ecological Districts. The urban areas occur mainly in the Foxton Ecological District, with parts of the Waikanae urban area occurring in the Tararua Ecological District and part of the Ōtaki urban area occurring in the Manawatu Plains Ecological District. These Ecological Districts are briefly described below.

Foxton Ecological District

Foxton Ecological District contains the most extensive sand-dune system in New Zealand. The sand-belt runs from Patea to Paekakariki and includes several estuaries, and many wetlands and dune lagoons or lakes. The dune vegetation has been greatly modified through urban development, farming, plantation forestry, and the introduction of exotic plants.

The remaining indigenous forest areas comprise a few remnant coastal swamp forests containing nīkau (Rhopalostylis sapida), pukatea (Laurelia novae-zelandiae) and kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides). Isolated patches of the native sand sedge pīngao (Ficinia spiralis), with sand pimelea (Pimelea villosa) and sand Coprosma (Coprosma acerosa), occur throughout the dunes (McEwen 1987a).

Only 6% of the Foxton Ecological District still retains a cover of indigenous vegetation or habitats (Landcare Research 2012). The portion of the Foxton Ecological District that occurs within the Kāpiti Coast District has a slightly higher vegetation cover at 9% of the area.

Manawatu Plains Ecological District

The Manawatu Plains Ecological District comprises low lying uplifted marine terraces or alluvial terraces created by rivers. Large areas of this district historically supported flax swamps and semi-swamp forest dominated by kahikatea and pukatea. On freer- draining and lower rainfall areas, tōtara (Podocarpus totara) forest was more common, while mixed podocarp forest, including rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), mataī (Prumnopitys taxifolia), tōtara and kahikatea, occurred on parts of the plains and terraces east of Manawatu River. There also were large areas of open land including grassland and shrubland (McEwen 1987a).

Only about 4% of the Manawatu Plains Ecological District retains a cover of indigenous vegetation or habitats (Landcare Research 2012, Appendix 1), including small, isolated areas of flax swamp and forest, locally characteristic tōtara forest, and some black beech (Fuscospora solandri) forest (McEwen 1987a). The portion of the Manawatu Plains Ecological District that occurs within the Kāpiti Coast District has a slightly higher vegetation cover at 9% of the area.

Tararua Ecological District

Steep, high, dissected hills and mountains characterise the Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges within the Tararua Ecological District (McEwen 1987b). The rock is heavily faulted and broken by major rivers with steep hill slopes dropping to small river flats. Severe erosion contributes large volumes of rock and gravel to the waterways.

DRAFT

The vegetation shows clear altitudinal zonation from alpine herbfield and tussockland, down to leatherwood scrub above the treeline, and extensive forests below the treeline. Silver beech (Lophozonia menziesii) is dominant in montane and subalpine forests while red beech (Fuscospora fusca)/kāmahi (Weinmannia racemosa) forest and northern rātā (Metrosideros robusta)/kāmahi forest are dominant in the western Tararua Range foothills. Podocarp species such as rimu, Hall's tōtara (Podocarpus laetum), and miro (Prumnopitys ferruginea) are found throughout and hard beech (Nothofagus truncata) is also present (McEwen 1987b).

Most of the Tararua Ecological District is public land and 80% is still primarily covered by indigenous vegetation (Landcare Research 2012); however, the urban areas occur on the lowland foothills where much of the indigenous vegetation (mostly kohekohe (Dysoxylum spectabile)-tawa (Beilschmiedia tawa) forest) has been modified by urban expansion and farming.

2.2 Ecological domains

A report produced for Greater Wellington Regional Council identifies ecological domains (units of landscape which share similar ecological and physical processes) within the Wellington region and these are mapped at a scale of 1:100,000 (GWRC 2002).

Within the Kāpiti Coast District, ecological domains (also known as eco-domains) run in bands of variable width from the coast towards inland areas. They include salt- laden wind influenced vegetation in the salt zone, coastal dunelands, vegetation on lowland terrace areas, lowland hills, and higher altitude hill country. Climatic and geological variables tend to dictate the types of vegetation that occur within these zones.

Urban areas within the Kāpiti District occur primarily in the salt zone, dunelands and lowland terraces. Only small amounts of indigenous vegetation remain within the Duneland (6% indigenous cover), Lowland Terrace (9%), and Salt Zone (15%) Ecodomains.

2.3 Classification of New Zealand’s Terrestrial Ecosystems

The classification of ecosystems, as opposed to vegetation, involves the description of relationships between the abiotic environment and its biotic overlay. Development of a theoretical framework of environmental or physical drivers in New Zealand resulted in a hierarchy of temperature, moisture availability, and landform and soil gradients, which were divided sequentially down into categories or environmental classes (Singers and Rogers 2014). Vegetation communities and ground cover classes were aligned with each of these environmental zones. A primary division within this classification is the conceptual distinction between zonal and azonal ecosystems, where zonal ecosystems are driven primarily by the physical, macroclimatic variables of temperature and moisture availability, and azonal ecosystems are primarily the product of process variables producing edaphic extremes (e.g. extreme rock and soil chemistry, extreme heat, and frequent disturbance). This classification led to 152 ecosystems being recognised—78 zonal and 74 azonal (Singers and Rogers 2014).

DRAFT

In Kāpiti Coast District, it is postulated that approximately 44.5% of the land was covered in North and South Island mild forests ecosystems (Units MF6-8); c.34.6% by Cool forest and scrub ecosystems (Units CLF9-11); c.13.4% by Warm temperate forest ecosystems (Units WF2, 6, 8); c.2.6% by Active coastal sand dune ecosystems (Units DN2, 5); and c.2.3% by Cold forest and scrub ecosystems (Units CDF4, 6).

The Waikanae, Paraparaumu and Raumati urban areas mainly comprised “WF6 - tōtara, mataī, broadleaved forest (Dune Forest)” and “WF8 - kahikatea, pukatea forest”, while Ōtaki was predominantly WF2, Tōtara, mataī, ribbonwood forest. Less than 4% of these forest types (WF2, WF6, and WF8) remain within the Kāpiti Coast District.

Coastal sand dune ecosystems (Units DN2 and DN5) have also been incorporated into urban areas, with only about 20% of their former extent remaining within the Kāpiti Coast District. “MF6 - kohekohe, tawa forest” covered the Tararua foothills and the extent of this has been reduced to about 22% of its original cover within the Kāpiti Coast District.

2.4 Threatened environment classification

The Threatened Environment Classification (TEC, Walker et al. 2007) combines three national databases: Land Environments of New Zealand (LENZ), Land Cover Database (LCDB3), and the protected areas network (PAN-NZ) to determine which LENZ environments have the least amount of indigenous vegetation remaining and/or are not legally protected and are therefore considered to be at most risk.

Each of the 500 LENZ Level IV environments were assigned to one of six threat categories on the basis of past habitat loss (percentage indigenous cover remaining) and current legal protection1 (Table 1). A land environment was given a high threat status if it supported a small amount of indigenous vegetation, and a low threat category if it still supports large areas of indigenous vegetation.

Table 1: Threatened Environment Classification.

Category Criterion Acutely Threatened <10% indigenous cover remaining. Chronically Threatened 10-20% indigenous cover remaining. At Risk 20-30% indigenous cover remaining. Critically Underprotected >30% indigenous cover remaining and <10% legally protected. Underprotected >30% indigenous cover remaining and 10-20% legally protected. No Threat Category >30% indigenous cover and >20% legally protected

Indigenous vegetation cover remaining in threatened land environments is therefore potentially ecologically significant. However, relative ecological value will also depend on the maturity and species composition of each area of indigenous

1 Current legal protection does not necessarily protect indigenous ecological values. Protection of indigenous species and ecosystem values can depend on the type of legal protection/reserve status, but also the type of proposed development.

DRAFT

vegetation, and their importance as habitat for indigenous fauna species. Not all areas of indigenous vegetation are ecologically significant.

The government produced a report recommending national priorities for conservation on private land with the expectation is that these priorities would be used to support and inform councils’ biodiversity responsibilities under the Resource Management Act (Ministry for the Environment 2007). These national priorities outline that indigenous vegetation on Acutely Threatened or Chronically Threatened environments should be protected where possible. Twenty-four percent of the Kāpiti Coast District is classified as Acutely Threatened, 2% Chronically Threatened and 8% as At Risk Land Environments. However, indigenous vegetation remains on only 2% and 1% of Acutely Threatened and Chronically Threatened Land Environments respectively, and only 5% on At Risk Land Environments. The urban areas all lie within areas categorised as Acutely Threatened and Chronically Threatened Land Environments (Figure 1).

3. VALUES OF INDIGENOUS TREES IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT

Indigenous urban trees fulfil a range of roles and functions in the urban environment. Due to the significant loss of vegetation from the lowland areas of the Kāpiti Coast District, the remnants of indigenous forest that persist in ecological sites, groups of large trees, and some individual large trees are important representatives of former ecosystems and contain representative characteristic elements of the previous forests

and genetic material. This section lists some of the key functions of indigenous urban trees.

3.1 Biodiversity

 Ecological sites and large or old indigenous trees are remnants of previously more extensive forests. On the lowland areas of Kāpiti Coast District, approximately 2% to 5% of the original extent of forests types remains (Landover Database Version 4, Landcare Research 2012). This severe loss of forest area increases the importance of isolated trees or groups of trees, including those in urban environments.  The pattern of ecological sites and remnant indigenous trees reflect the underlying historical vegetation pattern, with tōtara and tītoki (Alectryon excelsus) dominant forest more common on alluvial flats around Ōtaki and on dune crests, kohekohe found on fertile river flats, and kahikatea and pukatea remnants being indicative of past dune swale wetlands. Large old trees represent some last vestiges of forests on these land forms.  Large old trees are also important contributors to the species’ genetic diversity within Kāpiti Coast District.  Some urban trees are nationally At Risk species (e.g. Kunzea amathicola, Streblus banksii) or provide habitat for nationally At Risk species (e.g. dwarf mistletoe Korthalsella salicornioides, Wellington green gecko Naultinus punctatus).

DRAFT

 Areas with ecological sites and those retaining large old trees are also important reservoirs of soil microbes and fungi that have specialized associations with particular tree species. The loss of these soil organisms can make it more difficult to re-establish or re-create ecosystems or habitats that previously occurred at that location (Ogle 1996).  Large old trees are often the core trees in linkages and stepping stone habitat between ecological sites, and between the coast (and Kāpiti Island) and inland areas of the District, and also between rivers, lakes and wetlands. Linkage and stepping stone habitat allows and encourages the flow of species and propagules between locations, including those that are relatively isolated.

DRAFT

In the report Te Haerenga Whakamua (Moore et al, 2012) commissioned by Te Whakaminenga o Kāpiti, iwi articulated their values and aspirations in their respective traditional areas. Tangata whenua, being Te Āti Awa ki Whakarongotai, Ngāti Raukawa and Ngāti Toa Rangatira, advocate for the establishment of indigenous ecological corridors from the Tararua Ranges to Kāpiti Island. Vegetation must include a natural balance of trees and other plants (Moore et al. 2012). Linkages and stepping stone habitats: • Assist in maintaining genetic diversity; • Reduce the risk of a calamity affecting an entire population; • Assist with retaining more elements of a fully functioning ecosystem since these can move more easily across the landscape; • Allow for better species distribution from core areas, e.g. halo effect - areas with good mammal pest control build up numbers of indigenous species and as the habitat fills up these species move out in to surrounding areas.  Vegetation adjacent to ecological sites can also help to buffer the site from edge effects (e.g. prevent the forest interior from drying out), and help protect the vegetation from prevailing winds. Large trees perform this function more effectively.  Ecological sites and trees provide habitat for a whole suite of species, from soil micro-organisms and fungi, to invertebrates, lizards, birds and epiphytic plant species.  Large old trees may provide nesting and roosting cavities for cavity-nesting birds such as morepork (Ninox novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae ), kingfisher (Todiramphus sanctus vagans), kākāriki (Cyanoramphus spp.), North Island kākā (Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis), and long-tailed bats (Chalinolobus tuberculatus). Bats have been seen in Waikanae and may be more widespread in Kāpiti Coast District urban areas than previously realised. Younger and smaller trees are less likely to have suitable nesting and roosting cavities for these indigenous fauna species.  Large old trees provide substantial horizontal branches that can be used as perches by larger indigenous bird species, and branching structure that can support larger nests, for example those of kererū (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae). Small trees lack these features.  Large old trees can provide significant fruit and nectar crops, either regularly or periodically, providing seasonally-abundant food resources for indigenous fauna. When a small tree flowers or fruits, a much smaller quantity of resources is provided.  Large old trees provide important habitat for epiphytes and lianes. These include indigenous mistletoes, epiphytic herbs and ferns, and climbers. Such species often rely on the accumulation of litter in tree forks, or in the fissures that open in the bark of old trees, to provide substrate that plant roots can exploit.

DRAFT

3.2 Aesthetic and economic

 Suburbs and commercial centres that feature mature trees tend to attract higher values (Donovan. and Butry 2010), can reduce absenteeism (Elzeyadi 2011), and improve work output (Kahn 2008).  Trees provide shading in summer and slow strong winds - which can result in reduced cooling costs in summer (Donovan and Butry 2009) and reduced heating costs in winter (McPherson et al. 1988).  From an economic viewpoint, communities that retain trees in the landscape may spend less money developing additional stormwater management infrastructure (American Forests 2002 cited in Schwab 2009).  During the 2010 survey of urban trees in the Kāpiti Coast District, a number of people commented favourably on trees in their back gardens or neighbourhood (Pistoll 2010). During the 2015 ecological site survey, several people commented on the profuse flowering of kohekohe this year, and the improvement in tree condition and the number of birds seen since more wide spread possum control was initiated. Many people were very proud of having native trees in their gardens.

3.3 Health and environmental benefits

 Studies are showing that people with access to green spaces have reduced levels of stress and depression (Bratmana et al. 2015).  People with access to green spaces are more likely to participate in exercise with the resultant health benefits (Kahn et al. 2002).

 Air quality is improved by trees since they absorb CO2, release oxygen, alter airflows so reduce the distance that aerial pollutants and particles can travel (McPherson and Simpson 1999, Nowak et al. 2007, McDonald et al. 2007.).  Trees provide shade which reduces temperatures. This helps reduce urban heat islands which can change local weather patterns and also helps prevent airborne pollutants from becoming even more volatile (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (undated)).  Tree canopies intercept rain reducing soil erosion, and trees significantly slow the overland flow of storm water and lower total runoff volume, resulting in reduced soil erosion and flooding (Fazio 2010, Peterson 2010). Areas where trees occur generally have permeable surfaces (as opposed to impermeable surfaces such as concrete, asphalt or roofs) which allow water to penetrate the subsurface and assist in replenishing shallow water aquifers.

3.4 Heritage and historic values

 In Waikanae and Ōtaki, tracts of trees were deliberately preserved during the colonial period, either by Maori owners or by conservation-minded European settlers. The kohekohe forest remnants along the Waikanae River were deliberately retained by Henry Elder. William Field encouraged the retention of swamp forest remnants which are now part of Nga Manu and Jack’s bush. There

are also kohekohe forest remnants preserved by Te Ati Awa, Ngati Toa and Raukawa iwi. These areas and old trees lend distinctive character to the urban areas in which they occur.  Some of the trees or tracts of trees may have cultural value to tangata whenua.  All of the indigenous species proposed to be included in Schedule 3.1 and Schedule 3.2 are endemic to New Zealand.  The pattern of the natural establishment of these trees and forests remnants is unique to Kāpiti Coast District due to the underlying soil types, climate and geological history; therefore the character they impart is unique, a point of difference for the district.

4. SIGNIFICANCE OF URBAN TREES IN KĀPITI

The urban areas within the Kāpiti Coast District all occur on Acutely Threatened and Chronically Threatened Land Environments which have less than 20% of indigenous vegetation cover remaining (Figure 1). This increases the ecological importance of indigenous vegetation, groups of indigenous trees, or individual large indigenous trees within urban areas, especially if they are remnants of the original vegetation or ecosystems.

There are three levels of ecological significance for vegetation and habitats within the urban zones of the Kāpiti Coast District:

1. Significant under S.6c of the Resource Management Act 1991 - the protection of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna. These are the ecological sites described in the 2012 Proposed District Plan that meet Policy 3.11 of the PDP and Policy 23 of the Regional Policy Statement for the Wellington region. Some of these ecological sites include portions of urban allotments. 2. Not significant under S.6c of the RMA, but still providing an important contribution to biodiversity within the Kāpiti Coast District. These are generally the large, old indigenous trees within urban areas. These trees would fall under S.31.1.b(iii) of the RMA which requires territorial authorities to control any actual or potential effects of the use, development, or protection of land, including for the purpose of the maintenance of indigenous biological diversity. Loss of large old trees is significant because they are not easy to replace; it takes a long time to become a big tree. 3. Not significant under S.6c of the RMA, and not remnants of the original vegetation, but still providing important protection and buffering to ecological sites and important trees, and connections and linkages between these sites. This group comprises more recently established or planted vegetation, including common indigenous species and non-indigenous species. These trees do not warrant controls under PDP policies or rules, because while they have some habitat value, they may not be consistent with natural patterns. In addition, young trees and stands of trees can be much more easily replaced, for example by mitigation planting.

4.1 Significance of ecological sites

Ecological sites within the urban area of the Kāpiti Coast are areas of indigenous vegetation considered to be significant under S.6c of the RMA because they are some of the last remaining remnants of former vegetation and habitat types that used to occur in the Kāpiti District. They therefore score highly for representativeness, Threatened Land Environment classification (Acutely Threatened), and rare ecosystems or habitats criteria in PDP Policy 3.11/ RPS Policy 23. In addition some of the urban ecological sites contain rare flora or fauna, or provide significant habitat to large populations of more common species. Most of the ecological processes outlined in Section 3.1 of this report still occur within ecological sites and other values may also be present. Of the 153 ecological sites listed in Schedule 3.1 of the Proposed District Plan only 13 sites include private allotments in the urban environment.

Small groups of indigenous trees and isolated trees were generally not included in the surveys undertaken to assess ecological sites or, if included, were usually not assessed as meeting ecological significance criteria. Ecological sites of less than 0.5 ha that are considered to be ecologically significant either contain rare species or are the only known remnants of that vegetation type and landform within the Kāpiti Coast District.

Delineation (mapping) and description of ecological sites was based on field visits (Wildland Consultants 2003a, 2003b, 2007, 2012) and aerial photography. For ecological sites with forest or trees, the boundary generally follows the outer edge of the contiguous, or nearly contiguous, canopy. On occasion this resulted in the inclusion of trees on urban allotments. The trees on urban allotments are considered to be an integral part of the ecological sites and how they function, as they increase the overall size of the site, and provide edge closure (preventing the forest interior drying out), linkages to other vegetation and trees, plant and fauna species diversity, and habitat diversity.

4.2 Significance of large indigenous trees

Canopy species in New Zealand’s indigenous forests tend to be slow growing, long- lived, and capable of reaching great height and girth. Thus many of the large indigenous trees1 in urban areas are likely to have been part of the original forest canopy. Due to extensive forest clearance in the lowland parts of Kāpiti Coast District, these trees represent a valuable resource to help maintain genetic variability within the population.

Many of these trees or groups of trees buffer ecological sites, or occur in close proximity to ecological sites and therefore fulfil functions identified in Policy 3.12(c) of the Proposed District Plan. These trees also perform valuable ecological functions, as explained above (Section 4.1). Trees or groups of trees located between ecological sites facilitate movement of mobile fauna between ecological sites (corridor or

1 Large indigenous trees are deemed to be those trees with a biodiversity score of 8 or greater in the 2010 Urban Tree Survey. These trees have a height of at least 4 m and generally have a stem circumference of at least 95 cm, which is equivalent to at least a 30 cm stem diameter, measured at 1.4 m above the ground.

DRAFT

stepping stone habitat). Facilitating the movement of fauna not only ensures gene flow for all plant species, but also ensures that fauna species can move around the landscape, exploiting seasonally-available resources, and being able to persist in the landscape by moving to alternative locations when a habitat becomes less favourable or is destroyed.

In addition, groups of trees and individual trees still fulfil many of the ecological roles and functions outlined in Section 3.

These trees are not significant under S.6c of the RMA, Policy 3.11 of the PDP, or Policy 23 of the RPS, but they are important in maintaining ecological function and biodiversity. These trees would therefore fall under S.31.1.b(iii) of the RMA which requires territorial authorities to control any actual or potential effects of the use, development, or protection of land, including for the purpose of the maintenance of indigenous biological diversity.

4.3 Significance of other indigenous trees and non-indigenous trees

Most landowners, or occupiers, within the Kāpiti Coast District plant trees, shrubs and grasses on their property for aesthetic and other reasons. For trees, this can include species that occur naturally in Kāpiti Coast District (i.e. occurred prior to human vegetation clearance), indigenous species from other parts of New Zealand but not local to Kāpiti, and non-indigenous trees. There are also a range of early successional species local to the Kāpiti District that are very successful in establishing naturally, and have rapid growth rates.

These species may also fulfil many of the ecological functions outlined in Section 3, including the buffering of ecological sites and important trees, providing food and habitat for indigenous fauna, and enabling biota to move between sites. Non-local indigenous species and non-indigenous species can, however, be problematic to urban biodiversity as they can be weedy or hybridise with locally indigenous species and produce viable but genetically ‘contaminated’ offspring. An example of non-local indigenous weed species is karo (Pittosporum crassifolium), while hybrids include those between Australian ngaio (Myoporum aff. insulare) and indigenous ngaio (Myoporum laetum), and between pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) and northern rātā (Metrosideros robusta). Fast growing locally indigenous species can also sometimes also be seen as weedy, and tend to be quite successful in establishing naturally in urban areas.

The loss of individuals or small groups of these species is generally of little consequence to indigenous biodiversity in Kāpiti Coast District. Therefore these species are not considered to be important enough to warrant controls through District Plan policies or rules.

5. PRESSURES ON TREES IN URBAN AREAS

5.1 Pressures on trees

Trees tend to keep growing throughout their lifespan, but the growth rate of mature trees is much slower than that of seedlings or saplings (e.g. Ogden and West 1981). Given sufficient resources, a mature tree will continue to increase the size of its canopy, root mass and trunk. Within an urban setting, this can mean that trees are perceived as growing too large for the space that they occupy and thus interfere with urban living and the use of urban properties. This can include shading the house or garden, the canopy interfering with above ground services such as electrical lines or telephone wires, roots interfering with subsurface stormwater drains and sewerage lines, and roots and trunks displacing driveways, pathways, road surfaces, fences, parts of buildings or utilities. These issues can occur not only on the property where the tree is rooted, but also on adjacent properties.

To remedy these effects, trees can be removed entirely, or branches or roots can be trimmed. Loss of entire trees can reduce local genetic diversity, and connectivity, buffering, and the amount of food and roosting habitat for fauna. Removing limbs or roots, if not done correctly, can affect the health of the tree and in some instances can lead to the death of the tree. The health of trees can also be compromised by compaction of soil, covering of surface ‘feeding roots’, restriction of root space, and alteration of overland and sub-surface water flows.

The ecological functions by large old indigenous trees is supported and buffered by surrounding younger trees and shrubs, which can sometimes include non-local tree species. If the surrounding vegetation is removed then this can compromise the health of the large old trees.

5.2 Pressures on tree populations

The extent and rate of loss of trees from the urban environment has not yet been quantified. There is concern that large trees of key indigenous species are gradually being lost from the urban environment, and not being replaced. The loss is through natural attrition, and removal of trees to facilitate subdivision, home enlargement, and improve use of the property. Trees that may be valued originally can be removed to improve saleability of the property, or by a new property owner who is not quite as enamoured with the trees on the property as the previous owner. Some of the loss of urban trees has occurred through the consents process where conscious decisions have been made in favour of tree removal, but some tree removal has been unlawful. Some examples of ongoing loss of indigenous forest and indigenous trees from urban areas are provided in Appendix 1.

In Te Haerenga Whakamua iwi articulate a need for more consideration of the impacts on indigenous biodiversity and flora and fauna. They support the need for regular surveying of native flora and fauna in the district, including the effects of resource consents on biodiversity, and feel that greater emphasis should be placed on regulatory measures to protect biodiversity, but they do also support the use of non- regulatory measures (Moore et al. 2012).

DRAFT

Many of the species that comprised the canopy of original forests have a reduced ability to regenerate naturally in urban areas. This could be due to a range of factors including; compaction of soil (Bassett et al. 2005) and changes to hydrology (Clarkson et al. 2004) preventing seedling establishment, loss of suitable micro- climates increasing seedling death (e.g. for beeches; Wardle 1984), mowing and gardening beneath canopies removing seedlings and saplings, reduction in pollination or seed dispersal through loss or reduced numbers of fauna or loss of fauna species (Whitaker 1987, Clout and Hay 1989) and potentially loss of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi from the soil reducing seedling success (Ogle 1996). In addition, key indigenous species are only infrequently planted in urban allotments; perhaps because of concerns about the eventual size of the species.

Kāpiti Coast nurseries were contacted during the course of this review and indicated that indigenous species comprised 80% of sales, with the most popular being indigenous sedges (Carex spp.), grasses (such as miniature toetoe, Chionochloa flavicans), tussocks and low growing species such as species of Libertia and flax (Phormium spp.). With regards to indigenous trees, species of Pittosporum are probably the most popular (Pittosporum eugenioides, Pittosporum tenuifolium), as well as various Hebe species and hybrids, five-finger (Pseudopanax arboreus), lancewood (Pseudopanax crassifolius) and Pseudopanax hybrids (Pseudopanax lessonii/ornamental hybrid variations). Other popular species include Corokia, Hoheria (mainly a northern, non-local species), kōwhai (Sophora spp.), cabbage trees (Cordyline spp.), ornamental Brachyglottis, ngaio (Myoporum laetum), mānuka (Leptospermum spp.) for lifestyle blocks and ornamental hybrids, kānuka (Kunzea spp.) for lifestyle blocks, Coprosma propinqua, Olearia paniculata and O. solandri, Griselinia lucida and G. littoralis, smaller-growing varieties of pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) and the occasional tītoki. Thus, other than the occasional tītoki and kōwhai, key indigenous tree species that comprised part of the original forest types are not being planted on urban lots.

Essentially, for these key indigenous species, most of which are slow-growing forest canopy species, or slow-growing threatened species, the urban populations currently face an ongoing slow decline. Therefore, some intervention through District Plan policies, rules or incentives may be warranted. The decline of urban populations of these key species and remnant vegetation may accelerate if tree protection rules are allowed to lapse.

6. URBAN TREE DATA FOR KĀPITI COAST DISTRICT

6.1 Ecological sites

Surveys to delineate (map the boundaries) and describe ecological sites have been undertaken by Wildland Consultants in 2002-2003, 2007, 2012, 2013 and 2015. These surveys included site visits with structured ecological assessments (a standard form for identification of ecological values and assessment of significance was completed for each site) and interpretation of aerial photography. This has resulted in a number of reports that briefly summarise the ecological values for each site (Wildland Consultants 2003a, 2003b, 2007, 2012) and a further report is being prepared incorporating additional information from the 2013 and 2015 surveys.

DRAFT

Information about each site includes:

 Unique identification number for each site;  Site name, location, geospatial data, and size of the site;  Ecological district (explained further in Section 2.1);  Who nominated the site for assessment and/or inclusion in the district plan;  Description of dominant canopy species;  A brief site summary;  Whether the site is privately owned, public land or covenanted;  Notes about adjacent land use, land management issues (if known) and ecological condition (if known);  Assessment of ecological significance including: • Representativeness; • Whether the site lies within a threatened land environment (Section 2.4); • What diversity of habitats, flora, fauna and communities occur within the site; • How well the site is connected to other ecological sites and areas within the landscape and whether it provides habitat for migrating or seasonally migrating species; • Any known tangata whenua values.

This information is for the entire ecological site and may not fully describe the tree species that occur within one small part of the site. Where trees within an ecological site occur on an urban allotment it is therefore not necessarily possible to describe the tree species that occur within that property. This was ascertained individually for each property (Appendix 2).

6.2 Urban tree database

Kāpiti Coast District Council is one of a few councils that have invested in making an inventory of urban trees. The 2010 Urban Tree Survey (Pistoll 2011) provides a database to help identify and select which species and trees are important for biodiversity in Kāpiti Coast urban areas. In the years since 2010, there have been some changes, including the loss of some trees (feedback from landowners) either unlawfully or consented, and trees will have grown and may now be larger than indicated in the database. In addition, the scientific names for some species has changed and other minor corrections have been made (Appendix 4).

6.2.1 Data collection

The survey was undertaken by undergraduate university students from November 2009 to February 2010. Urban allotments (less than 4,000 m2, reticulated water and sewerage, with an occupied building) were identified through GIS and aerial photographs. Properties that did not meet the allotment criteria or had no visible trees were excluded. Letters outlining the purpose of the survey were hand-delivered to all

DRAFT target properties and target properties were visited (mostly after landowner consent) or viewed from the road or nearby properties.

The 2010 database includes:

 Species (botanical name and common name).

 Street address on which the tree(s) grow.

 Whether the tree(s) is/are ‘endemic’ (i.e. from the local ecological district), or ‘native’ (being native species from outside the local ecological district) or exotic (introduced to New Zealand).

 Whether the tree(s) is/are naturally-occurring or planted by humans (noting that, if it was not possible to be determinative on site, the default of ‘naturally occurring’ was used).

 Date of the survey.

 Height of the tree above ground estimated to the nearest 0.5 metres.

 Trunk circumference (to the nearest 5 cm) at 1.4 m above ground level (measured along the trunk rather than vertically when the tree was on a lean).

 An assessment of the health of the tree.

 A description of the type of ground cover surrounding the tree(s).

 Whether the tree(s) occurs/occur as an isolated tree or as part of a stand or group or part of an area of vegetation.

 Whether the tree(s) was/were exposed or surrounded by other vegetation.

 A brief note of apparent risks to the tree(s) (such as being close to structures, close to power lines).

 Biodiversity value (maximum score of 10) which reflects the age and maturity of the tree, growing position and rarity of the species.

 In the case of exotic trees, a value to indicate its merit as a ‘notable’ tree for consideration for the heritage register.

 GPS location (noting that, where access to the base of the tree was not achievable, a GPS off-set function was used to estimate actual location - the project team has identified some errors in the exact location of some trees estimated in this way).

6.2.2 Location accuracy

The location of trees and groups of trees were recorded on a GPS unit, or estimated using the GPS offset tool. The physical address (street name and number on the letterbox) was noted for all data collected for each property. The physical address does not always match the LINZ address or the ratepayer address for that property, but has proved to be the most reliable locator for the tree GPS point (tree or group of

DRAFT trees). Additionally, when using a GPS without a GPS base-station, there often is some error in the accuracy of the data, commonly +4 or 5 m, but this depends on the location of the satellites overhead and sometimes the accuracy can be smaller or greater. This means that care needs to be taken when viewing tree GPS points in spatial software.

It is recommended that for display purposes all tree GPS point data for a particular property are amalgamated into a single point located on the property to prevent miscommunication and misunderstandings. This may make it more difficult to describe the exact location of the tree (or group of trees) on a property, and may result in additional work for the KCDC biodiversity staff in visiting the property and identifying the target tree. However, this is a better than a tree GPS point being incorrectly ‘located’ on a neighbouring property.

6.2.3 Tree height and circumference

Response from landowners during the 2015 UTV urban tree survey (letters notifying residents of possible Schedule 3.2 trees on their property and seeking feedback) seems to indicate that the data describing the trees for each property appears to be largely accurate with regards to species, height and circumference parameters.

During the 2009-2010 field survey, there were some inconsistencies with regards to the minimum criteria for a tree to be included in the survey. For the Waikanae and Parararaumu/Raumati areas, the surveys recorded trees taller than 4 m OR with a circumference greater than 95 cm. This resulted in inclusion of a large number of trees with stems <95 cm in diameter. The survey of the Ōtaki area targeted trees taller than 4 m AND with a circumference greater than 95 cm - which was the original intention of the survey. However, the surveyors (Pistoll 2011) indicate that these changes should not affect the capture of the most significant tree species for each of the areas; being those with a biodiversity score of 7 or greater.

Another issue with the collection of circumference data is that it is not clear how trees with multiple trunks were treated. This is particularly likely to be an issue in species such as tōtara and kānuka, which often have a spreading, multi-trunked growth form in open habitats. These trees may be older and larger than the circumference of individual stems indicates.

6.2.4 Tree biodiversity score

In addition to the height and circumference criteria, the biodiversity score is likely to be the most important criteria for selecting which trees or groups of trees warrant recognition as important trees for the maintenance of biodiversity in the urban areas of Kāpiti Coast District. Biodiversity scores ranged from 1 to 10, with 10 assigned to the most valuable trees.

Trees that were locally indigenous (as listed in the Foxton Ecological District report - Ravine 1992, or the Manawatu Plains Ecological District report - Ravine 1995), over 4 m tall, and with a circumference of at least 95 cm would achieve a minimum biodiversity score of 5. Higher biodiversity scores were assigned to higher value

DRAFT

species, but the report does not list which species were considered to have higher values.

Taller trees, and trees with a larger circumference, usually taken to indicate an older tree, would also achieve a higher biodiversity score. Slow-growing species were scored slightly higher than fast-growing species. The rarity of a tree, both within the district and locally, would increase the biodiversity score. The location of the tree was also important, with isolated trees scoring lower than groups of trees. A group of trees that predominantly comprised locally indigenous species scored higher than groups comprising mostly exotic species. A tree that was a potential seeding node1 for that location would also score higher score. A tree, or group of trees, that was part of a stand approaching the expected species diversity and composition for that location would be scored more highly.

The Pistoll (2011) report (presenting the 2010 tree survey data) provides a somewhat loose description of the biodiversity score; the 2009-2010 survey and the report would have benefitted from a decision matrix to ensure consistent scoring between the three different observers, between locations, and for the duration of the survey. However, the purpose of the survey was to identify significant and mature indigenous vegetation. Thus significant and mature individuals of common species were consistently given a biodiversity score of 7 or greater and slower-growing or rare species a biodiversity score of 8 (Pistoll 2011).

The data required for the various options for tree protection presented in the UTV have been checked, and in some instances adjusted, to ensure consistency across the database (Appendix 4). These data are considered to be sufficiently robust to underpin tree selection.

6.3 Schedule 3.2 of the 2012 Proposed District Plan

Schedule 3.2 of the 2012 Proposed District Plan is based to a large extent on a 2011 report identifying options to protect locally native trees in Kāpiti Coast urban areas (Handford 2011). Schedule 3.2 lists key indigenous tree species by ecological domain (salt zone, dune lands, lowland alluvial terraces, and lowland hills) with height and trunk circumference criteria for each species. Some species are included in some ecological domains, and not others. The height and size criteria are not consistent between species, and for some species the height criterion is lower in the salt zone2 than other ecological domains. These differences lead to confusion. The key indigenous tree species are those considered to be physically or numerically important components of the canopy of representative pre-clearance native vegetation in that area, as well as Threatened and At Risk species. The list of key indigenous tree species was compiled from Protected Natural Areas Reports (Ravine 1992, 1997), the 2010 urban tree survey (Pistoll 2011), and other surveys and observations (Handford 2011). The data in the 2010 Urban Tree Database only includes the

1 An isolated tree of a species that occurred only infrequently at that location, but was considered to be in the correct ecological situation and could act as a coloniser for that species. 2 Due to more difficult growing conditions in strong salt-laden winds.

DRAFT

species that remain, not necessarily all the species that would have occurred in forest at that location. For simplicity, the Handford (2011) report recommended a minimum circumference of 47 cm for most species, as the Operative District Plan criteria of 95 cm circumference could exclude a range of important trees, including:  Slow-growing species - in particular those that tend to have multiple trunks;  Trees in closely spaced stands where the stem circumference will be smaller, but the trees will generally be tall; and  Mature subcanopy and understorey species.

However some of the species included and proposed for inclusion in Schedule 3.2 of the 2012 PDP are commonplace and capable of regeneration without a great deal of assistance (e.g. taupata, ngaio, cabbage trees) or are commonly planted on urban lots (e.g. kōwhai, mānuka). These species cannot be said to be in decline. Schedule 3.2 also excludes some species that could have occurred locally and could therefore be of biodiversity significance (e.g. tōtara in the salt zone). The criteria in Schedule 3.2 of the 2012 PDP apply equally to planted trees and naturally established trees, and groups of trees and isolated trees. The ecological source, and thus local biodiversity value, of planted trees is often difficult to determine, and isolated trees are of lesser biodiversity value than groups of trees.

The ‘ecological domains’ were adopted, pre-2012, as a means of describing the different ecological conditions that prevail in different parts of the district that

underlay the original vegetation cover. However, ecological variables typically change along a gradient, and are not features that can be easily represented by lines. Handford (2011) recommended the ‘ecological domains’ approach required “some degree of buffering on the boundaries [of the ecological domains] to reflect the fact that ‘hard edges’ generally do not exist in natural vegetation distribution. A buffer of possibly 100-200m either side of the boundary is suggested as a starting point”.

However, the boundaries between ecological domains are presented as sharp lines on the PDP maps, which has resulted in some perverse outcomes. For example, a species that may be considered to be ‘key’ and therefore protected in the ‘salt zone’ eco-domain would be protected from removal and from any trimming. The same species on an adjoining, or even the same allotment, just beyond the ‘salt zone’ eco- domain, would not be protected and could be felled. That outcome was not intended, is not reasonable, and cannot be justified.

7. TREES PROPOSED FOR 2015 URBAN TREE VARIATION

The urban tree variation (UTV) incorporates two separate strands:

(a) Ecologically significant trees on urban allotments within ecological site boundaries; and (b) Trees important for the maintenance of biodiversity within urban areas of the Kāpiti Coast District.

DRAFT

For the first strand, a survey has been undertaken by Wildland Consultants to identify tree species (over 4 m in height) that occur within the ecological site boundary and determine the location of these trees within the property and relative to other trees on the property for each allotment. The results of this survey are summarised in Section 7.2 and Appendix 2.

The second strand relies on data in the urban tree database (described in Section 6.2), but depends on which option is preferred or selected to protect urban trees and groups of trees outside ecological site boundaries. The ecological background for potential selection of trees to include in a revised Schedule 3.2 (if this is to be retained) is provided in Section 7.3 below.

7.1 Recommendations proposed to Kāpiti Coast District Council

A range of options have been identified for consideration and these were reported on in the report to Kāpiti Coast District Mayor and Councillors on 11 August 2015 (Document SP-15-1666). These are:

Option 1: Existing non regulatory methods only. Option 2: Enhanced non regulatory methods only. Option 3: Trees in ecological sites only. Option 4: PDP approach. Option 5: PDP approach, excluding planted trees. Option 6: Trees in ecological sites plus trees with biodiversity score of 10 or 180 cm trunk. Option 7: Trees in ecological sites plus trees with biodiversity score of 8 or more. Option 8: Option 6 pursued through separate notable trees process.

The options are evaluated in Section 7.4 of this report.

Additionally, the rules regarding tree trimming and modification of trees in ecological sites listed in 2012 PDP Schedule 3.1 and key tree species listed in Schedule 3.2 are very restrictive, and have received much negative public attention. The Urban Tree Variation also proposes to moderate these rules and this is further discussed in Section 7.4.

7.2 Ecological sites

Some ecological sites overlap urban lots. In many instances, this overlap was unintentional, an artefact of digitising hand-drawn boundaries on maps, or misalignment of the Geographic Information System (GIS) boundaries relative to cadastral property boundaries. These unintentional overlaps were corrected if they occurred within 30 cm of the cadastral boundary. There were also three instances where vegetation had been removed, necessitating the adjustment of the ecological site boundary.

After these corrections, 127 allotments remained that contained urban trees within one of twelve ecological sites (Table 2).

DRAFT

All of these properties were surveyed in order to describe the trees that occur within the ecological site boundary within that allotment. The methodology and results of this survey are provided in Appendix 2.

A total of 136 properties were surveyed, which included parts of 13 ecological sites (Table A in Appendix 2), and information from a previous survey was used for another two allotments. Fourteen properties were surveyed in addition to those originally targeted, because the status of those properties had changed (no longer vacant or now less than 4,000 m2) or was likely to change in the near future (for sale sign). Table 2: Number of urban allotments that contain trees included within an ecological sites (identified by PDP Schedule 3.1 reference number).

Ecological Site Number of Properties K062 20 K069 2 K070 15 K095 5 K124 5 K125 4 K133 8 K145 10 K150 27 K168 10 K197 1 K212 20 Total 127

Of the properties surveyed:

 115 need no changes to the site boundaries;

 The status of trees within ecological site boundaries on seven properties need to be further assessed because it was difficult to determine where property boundaries were;

 The ecological site boundary is proposed to be removed from seven properties because of a lack of indigenous vegetation within the mapped boundary of the ecological site on the property; and

 Ecological site boundaries are recommended to be adjusted within the property for six allotments.

 Any issues relating to boundary changes will be addressed through the hearings on submissions to the PDP and if necessary a later variation to the PDP.

Due to the requirement to describe the trees and groups of trees from outside the property boundaries, it was generally difficult to estimate the number of naturally occurring indigenous trees within the ecological site and within the property boundaries. Hence, the number of trees within each group (within the ecological site and property boundary) is an estimate.

DRAFT

It is estimated that at least 9,000 trees, taller than 4 m, occur within ecological site boundaries on private property. This includes examples of 26 locally indigenous tree species taller than 4 m. The most commonly recorded species, occurred on the greatest number of urban allotments, were māhoe (Melicytus ramiflorus), kohekohe (Dysoxylum spectabile), kawakawa (Piper excelsum), tītoki (Alectryon excelsus) and tawa (Beilschmiedia tawa) (Table B in Appendix 2).

Some residents were at home during the survey and sought further information from the Wildlands survey team, or invited the team on to their properties for closer inspection of the vegetation (three landowners), or provided feedback on their personal view of indigenous vegetation which was generally positive.

7.3 Urban trees

The consultation process of the UTV was based on replicating the policies, rules and key indigenous vegetation criteria (Schedule 3.2) of the PDP. Through feedback during the 2015 UTV process (ecological site survey, mail-out to property owners and occupiers with potential Schedule 3.2 trees, and discussion with arborists), and exploration of the 2010 Urban Tree Database it became apparent that the data in the Urban Tree Database was very comprehensive, but included more species and trees or groups of trees then could be justifiably included in a schedule to identify and protect important indigenous urban trees. In addition, the criteria in Schedule 3.2 of the 2012 PDP did not follow all of the recommendations in the Handford (2011) report, are somewhat ambiguous, include some indigenous species that cannot be said to be in decline in urban areas, and exclude others that could be considered as locally important (Section 6.3).

In order to fulfil the requirement to maintain indigenous biological diversity within the Kāpiti Coast District (as per S.31.1.b(iii) of the RMA), it is recommended that the focus should be on trees or groups of trees that:

 Are representative of previous forests and forest patterns;

 Are likely to contribute to the maintenance of genetic diversity within the population;

 Provide significant food, nesting, and roosting resources for indigenous fauna occurring within the district;

 Provide significant habitat for indigenous mistletoes, epiphytes and lianes;

 Provide buffering or linking services to assist with movement of populations of flora and fauna in the district, and;

 Have reduced natural recruitment opportunities, or are in decline nationally, regionally or within the Kāpiti Coast District urban environment.

7.3.1 Candidate tree species

Tree species contained in the 2010 Urban Tree Database and the 2012 PDP Schedule 3.2 were ranked highly if they were:

DRAFT

 Locally indigenous;  Canopy or emergent species;  Had a high national threat classification;  Had slow or moderate growth rate;  Had low levels of natural establishment in urban environment;  Were not commonly planted in gardens.

This resulted in a refined list of tree species (Table 3) that are locally indigenous with slow to moderately-slow growth rates that comprise, or would have comprised, important components of the original indigenous forest canopy or were emergent trees. Most of these species show reduced effectiveness in establishing and maintaining populations in the urban environment, and are rarely planted in urban gardens.

Two species of nationally threatened tree species occur within the Kāpiti Coast District; Large-leaved milk tree (Streblus banksii, At Risk-Relict) and coastal kānuka (Kunzea amathicola, At Risk-Declining). Large-leaved milk tree has been included as a candidate species because it is a nationally threatened tree species, but further work needs to be undertaken to resolve which of the kānuka in the 2010 Urban Tree Database are the threatened coastal kānuka.

Kānuka (Kunzea species) have recently been taxonomically revised and this has resulted in ten different species of Kunzea being recognised in New Zealand (de Lange 2014). Within Kāpiti Coast District two species can occur; Kunzea robusta (Not Threatened) and coastal kānuka (Kunzea amathicola). Kānuka was an important canopy component in the original coastal forests. The 2010 urban tree survey pre- dates this taxonomic revision, thus all kānuka listed in the 2010 Urban Tree Database are listed as Kunzea ericoides, which is now considered endemic to the South Island of New Zealand.

Three-hundred and thirty-three tree points listed as kānuka are included in the 2010 Urban Tree Database, of which 172 are considered to be of sufficient merit to have a biodiversity score of 8 or greater and occur within the Salt Zone or Dune Lands ecodomains and thus could be the coastal kānuka species. Given the uncertainty about which species of kānuka are included in the 2010 Urban Tree Database, it is recommended that kānuka is not included as a candidate tree species at this time, but that further survey work is undertaken to clarify which trees are coastal kānuka (i.e. Kunzea amathicola) and would therefore warrant inclusion in proposed Schedule 3.2 (refer to Table 4 for indicative numbers).

Kōwhai (Sophora species) is a disproportionally important species in terms of providing food for birds (both foliage and flowers) and birds will migrate a long way to utilise kōwhai (e.g. Clout et al. 1986, 1991). Large kōwhai will be representative of previous forest patterns, especially in riparian and wetland areas. There are eight kōwhai species indigenous to New Zealand and several introduced species. Kōwhai is planted in gardens and there is no certainty that the locally indigenous species or variety of kōwhai is planted, which could result in hybrid species, thus it would be

DRAFT preferable to identify and protect individuals of the original genetic stock. However, it seems unlikely that birds are more attracted to the local species of kōwhai than planted varieties and therefore kōwhai has been excluded as a candidate tree species.

The complete list of tree species that could be considered important in the Kāpiti Coast District is provided in Table 3.

7.3.1 Tree growth rates

Different trees grow at different rates, but the potential candidate tree species identified above tend to be the slower-growing species that eventually form part of the forest canopy. Tree circumference is known to be a more accurate predictor of tree age than tree height, which can also be influenced by height of the surrounding trees and wind shear. Information on growth rates for many of potential candidate species is provided in Appendix 3. This section illustrates the relationship between trunk size and age for a number of the potential candidate species.

Annual growth rates in the stem diameters of tawa trees older than 20 years ranges from 2-8 mm per annum; thus trees with stem diameters of 30 cm are generally older than 100 years (Ogden and West 1981, Smale and Kimberley 1986). Tawa is considered to be mature when it has a stem diameter of c.30 cm (95 cm circumference), demonstrated by the slowing of the growth rate (Smale 1981, West 1995).

Rimu and miro have annual growth increments of 2.3 to 3.3 mm; thus trees with stem diameters of 30c cm are generally older than 100 years (Smale and Kimberley 1986). A hīnau (Elaeocarpus dentatus) tree with a stem diameter of 25 cm (79 cm circumference) was found to contain approximately 97 annual growth rings, and

DRAFT pokākā (Elaeocarpus hookerianus) with stem diameters of 27 to 35 cm had 100 to 154 growth rings (Patel 1989).

Nīkau is very slow-growing. Research conducted in lowland forests near Auckland found it takes 40-50 years to begin to form a trunk and about 200 years to reach 10 metres tall. However, growth rates vary around the country and with local climatic conditions (Department of Conservation 2006).

No specific information is available for coastal kānuka, since the division of Kunzea ericoides into ten separate species is relatively recent (de Lange 2014); however Kunzea ericoides with a stem diameters of 30 cm (95 cm circumference) are estimated to be in excess of 75 years old (Burns and Smale 1990).

A pukatea tree with a stem diameter of 25 cm was aged approximately 140 years old (Patel 1973). Marbleleaf (Carpodetus serratus) trees with stem diameters of 12 cm or greater ranged from 22 to 40 years in age (Patel 1972). Large-leaved milk tree (Streblus banksii) with stem diameters of 15 to 28 cm were aged from 33 to 53 years old (Patel and Bowles 1978). Tītoki with stem diameters greater than 13 cm (41 cm circumference) ranged in age from 40 to 85 years (Patel 1975). Black beech with a stem diameter greater than 45 cm (141 cm circumference) contained more than 50 annual growth rings (Patel 1986).

Modelling of planted kohekohe demonstrated that 40 years old trees achieved average stem diameters of 33 cm (104 cm circumference) and by 80 years trees achieved stem diameters of c.49 cm (154 cm circumference). Similar growth rates were noted for black beech in the same study; 40 year old stem diameter of 32 cm (101 cm circumference) and 80 year old trees 47cm diameter (148 cm circumference) (Bergin and Kimberly 2011).

A rewarewa (Knightia excelsa) trunk of 23 cm diameter had 39 growth rings whilst a trunk with a 27 cm diameter had 44 growth rings (Patel 1992). A rewarewa with a diameter of 30 cm (95 cm circumference) is therefore likely to be about 50 years old.

Some of the species discussed above can attain faster growth rates in good conditions and different species also grow at different rates. However, including a specific size criterion for each species may lead to confusion in applying any policies or rules.

To capture most of the trees that are likely to have been part of original forest, or established soon after the initial forest clearance, a stem circumference of 95 cm (30 cm diameter), measured at 1.4 m above the ground, is proposed. However, if the Council decides to only include the largest trees then a circumference of 180 cm (57 cm diameter) would be appropriate; however this is likely to include only a small proportion of the genetic diversity represented by the remaining ‘original’ trees and would provide less certainty of maintaining ecological processes in the urban environment.

The focus of the 2009-2010 urban tree survey was trees taller than 4 m; relatively few shorter stature trees are included in the 2010 Urban Tree Database and usually only where they have a large girth or are considered rare. Thus the minimum height should be 4 m, as there is likely to be insufficient robust data for shorter trees.

DRAFT

7.3.2 Using biodiversity scores to select tree candidates

High biodiversity scores were assigned to trees or groups of trees, during the 2009-2010 urban tree survey, if they were:

 Locally indigenous;  Of larger circumference;  Known to be slow-growing species;  Within a stand or group of indigenous trees;  Within a stand that approached the expected species diversity and composition;  Characteristic of the local forest type;  A rare or threatened species.

The report summarising the 2010 tree survey data (Pistoll 2011) identifies that significant and mature individuals of common species were consistently given a biodiversity score of 7 or greater and slower-growing or rare species a biodiversity score of 8. Analysis of the 2010 Urban Tree Database illustrated that biodiversity scores of 7 included numerous examples of relatively modest-sized trees, rather than only including larger trees (Figure 2), and thus was less likely to only contain older and more representative specimens for that species.

Cirumferenc in cm

Two main scenarios were assessed:

1. Trees with a biodiversity score of 8 or greater and 2. Trees with a biodiversity score of 10 and/or a circumference in excess of 180 cm.

Scenario 2 selects the oldest remaining trees in the urban environment, but these tend have a scattered distribution with potentially few linkages and hence reduced biodiversity services (Section 3.1).

DRAFT

In Scenario 1, a biodiversity score of 8 includes more trees or groups of trees that include rare and slower-growing species, as well as a number of large more common species. The greater number of trees or groups of trees is more likely to maintain linkages, retain a higher proportion of genetic diversity and a greater range of forest canopy species, and provide better long-term biodiversity services due to a more wide-spread distribution in the urban environment compared to selection of the highest value trees (Scenario 2: Biodiversity =10 or circumference >180 cm).

7.3.3 Naturally established or planted trees

In order to target trees or groups of trees that are likely to represent remnants of original forest and/or will contribute to the maintenance of the original genetic diversity, it is preferred to only include trees that are listed as naturally established in the 2010 Urban Tree Database. For large trees the distinction between naturally established and planted can be difficult to discern, and where the surveyors were uncertain they noted the tree as naturally established in preference to planted.

7.4 Evaluation of options

Option 1: Allow the PDP urban environment tree protection rules to lapse without replacement and rely on the current suite of non-regulatory interventions implemented by the Council to maintain biological diversity.

Option 2: Allow the PDP urban environment tree protection rules to lapse without replacement and introduce additional non-regulatory measures to assist landowners to retain and manage significant indigenous trees on private land. Option 3: Individually list and protect all of the trees from the 2010 data base that fall within the scope of Schedule 3.1 of the PDP (i.e. those within ecological sites - on the basis that these have been identified as areas of significant indigenous or habitats of significant indigenous fauna). This is estimated to be approximately 9,200 trees. Option 4: Individually list and protect all of the trees from the 2010 data base that fall within the scope of Schedule 3.2 of the PDP (being key indigenous tree species - including planted species - meeting the minimum height/trunk circumference thresholds listed in Schedule 3.2). This is estimated to be approximately 10,600 trees. Option 5: Individually list and protect all of the trees from the 2010 data base that fall within the scope of Schedule 3.2 of the PDP (being key indigenous tree species - not planted species - meeting the minimum height/trunk circumference thresholds listed in Schedule 3.2). This is estimated to be approximately 7,600 trees. Option 6: Individually list and protect only the non-planted trees from the 2010 data base that have highest biodiversity value - being those that:

 Are naturally occurring remnant trees (not planted trees); and

DRAFT

 Are key indigenous species particularly at risk in the urban environment; and  Are species that are at risk of decline at a rate that exceeds the rate at which they can naturally regenerate (i.e. a reduced list of key indigenous tree species); and  Provide an important biodiversity function in buffering or connecting ecological sites containing associated trees; and  Have biodiversity values of 10/10 and large trunk circumference (over 180 cm). This is estimated to be approximately 660 trees. Option 7: Individually list and protect only the non-planted trees from the 2010 data base that have high biodiversity value - being those that:

 Are naturally occurring remnant trees (not planted trees); and  Are key indigenous species particularly at risk in the urban environment; and  Are species that are at risk of decline at a rate that exceeds the rate at which they can naturally regenerate; and  Provide an important biodiversity function in buffering or connecting ecological sites containing associated trees; and  Have biodiversity values of 8/10 or greater. This is estimated to be approximately 2,300 trees. Option 8: Adopt Option 3 to protect trees in ecological sites and separately evaluate the trees identified in Option 6 to determine whether they qualify as notable trees. This would include further consultation with those landowners and a separate variation adding agreed trees to the notable tree schedule in Chapter 10 of the PDP.

Our recommendation is that Option 3 for ecological sites should be adopted and that Option 7 is the most practical and effective option for urban trees, or for a less conservative outcome, Option 6. The figures illustrating Options 3 to 7 are provided in Appendix 5. We favour Option 3 and Option 7 for the following reasons:

 A non-regulatory approach (Options 1 and 2) is not likely to effectively protect important indigenous trees, as non-regulatory incentives primarily relate to areas, not individual trees, and planting of indigenous trees cannot easily replace the values of large old indigenous trees, because many decades (or even centuries) of growth are required to reach the old tree stage.

 Trees within ecological sites warrant protection (Option 3), because they occur in a context that increases their ecological value and the ecological sites are considered significant under S.6c of the RMA.

 Planted trees do not need to be protected (Option 4), because they have lower ecological value, and because non-regulatory methods can address the adverse effects of the loss of such trees.

DRAFT

 Protecting all of the trees in Schedule 3.2 (Option 5) is overly onerous because Schedule 3.2 contains many fast-growing and ‘weedy’ indigenous species that do not warrant protection. Also, differences in height criteria and species in different ecological domains is likely to generate confusion and an inconsistent approach. The eco-domain approach also excludes some important species from areas that they previously would have occurred naturally.

 Protecting important trees in ecological sites, but only the highest value trees elsewhere (score of 10, trunk circumference >180 cm; Option 6) will, for some species, include only a few individuals (less than 10 trees for 10 of the candidate species). Four of the candidate species would not be included at all because these species rarely achieve a trunk circumference of 180 cm or greater, and there are none exceeding this dimension within the Kāpiti Coast urban environment. Thus this option is not ensuring the full protection of the genetic diversity and ecological functions of these species.

 Option 7 protects important trees in ecological sites, and those that have biodiversity scores of 8 or greater elsewhere. This approach is supported because it captures a greater number of individuals of the slow growing and a greater number of specimens of rare indigenous tree species (compared to Option 6). Many of these trees occur in groups or in proximity to ecological sites, which will assist with maintaining ecological processes and biodiversity in urban areas, provides buffering of ecological sites and linkages to areas of ecological importance.

 Option 8 would protect important trees in ecological sites, and then undertake a

separate evaluation of trees under Option 6 and protect qualifying evaluated trees in the notable tree schedule. Most of trees with a biodiversity score of 10 or a circumference of 180 cm or greater can be expected to qualify as notable trees in accordance with PDP policy. However, this option suffers from the same drawbacks as described for Option 6 and will not ensure the full protection of the genetic diversity and ecological functions of these species.

We recommend that Option 3 (ecological sites) and Option 7 (urban trees) are adopted.

7.4.1 Council decision

On 11 August 2015 the Council discussed and debated the various options put before them. In making their decision the Council looked to balance the maintenance of indigenous biodiversity within urban areas of the Kāpiti Coast, with protecting individual’s property rights, whilst keeping the options open for further discussion through submission on the Urban Tree Variation (Option 1 and 2 would preclude further submission, and Option 3 would only allow submission on ecological sites).

Council voted to accept preparation of a Variation to the Proposed District Plan relating to trees on urban allotments that occur within ecological areas (Option 3), and includes most of the higher biodiversity value trees listed in the 2010 Urban Tree Database. The motion that was accepted was to include all candidate trees with biodiversity scores of 9 and 10. This is an intermediate position between proposed Options 6 and 7 (Table 4).

DRAFT

Information on trees on urban allotments within ecological sites to potentially add to the existing Schedule 3.1 (Ecological sites) of the Kāpiti Coast District Plan is provided in Appendix 7 of this report.

Information on trees on urban allotments that meet the criteria of B=9 and B=10 is provided in Appendix 8 of this report that could be used to populate a potential Schedule 3.2 (Key trees) of the Kāpiti Coast District Plan.

7.5 Proposed tree trimming

The 2012 PDP and 2015 SEV PDP (Rule 3A.1.2) restrict trimming of indigenous vegetation in the urban environment within an ecological site (Schedule 3.1) or of key indigenous species (Schedule 3.2) - this means that a consent is required for removal and trimming vegetation and trees listed in those schedules. Landowners have made it clear through the submission process and the 2015 UTV survey that this level of restriction is onerous and does not allow reasonable use or management of their properties.

The UTV is proposing to change this, in the urban environment, to:

DRAFT

 Tree felling, removal, and destruction: • Require consent for felling, removal, destruction of the most significant scheduled vegetation and trees (listed in Schedules 3.1 and 3.2). • Permit removal of all other non-listed indigenous trees.  Tree and vegetation trimming and modification: • Permit trimming and modification of the vegetation and trees listed in Schedules 3.1 and 3.2 provided it avoids compromising the viability of the tree and is undertaken in accordance with Arboriculture Association NZ best practice guideline and undertaken by suitably NZQA qualified arborists. • Permit trimming and modification of all other trees without restriction.

This is a suitable and pragmatic approach to managing significant and important trees in the urban landscape, and will assist with maintenance of biodiversity in the urban environment. The most important trees would be included in Schedules 3.1 and 3.2, thus felling or removal of these would not be permitted. Trimming and modification of these trees to an extent that does not compromise their viability should result in no more than minimal effects on ecological values and functions.

Council voted to accept the above recommendation with regards to modifying and trimming protected trees in urban area, including notable trees.

7.6 Additional suggestions

In addition to other non-regulatory approaches currently in operation, or suggested, it

is encouraged to collect seed from large old trees and use the seedlings in restoration areas outside of the urban landscape. This will help maintain the genetic diversity of those species, and the occasional loss of a tree in the urban area will be less significant.

To prevent future misunderstanding and to help landowners identify important urban trees, outside of ecological areas, it is suggested that through the course of work by Council Officers, or as a separate project, all trees eventually listed in the potential Schedule 3.2 are tagged with a tree tag. The numbered tags would clearly identify these trees to landowners and arborists. This would also allow data to be collected to confirm the location of the tree(s) within the property and confirm species and size.

8. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The urban areas occur mainly in the Foxton Ecological District, with parts of the Waikanae urban area occurring in the Tararua Ecological and part of the Ōtaki urban area occurring in the Manawatu Plains Ecological District. Only 6% of the Foxton Ecological District still retains a cover of indigenous vegetation or habitats and only about 4% of the Manawatu Plains Ecological District. Much of the Tararua Ecological District retains indigenous cover, however the forest types on the Tararua foothills have reduced to about 22% of their original extent in the Wellington Region. The urban areas all lie within areas categorised as Acutely Threatened and

DRAFT

Chronically Threatened Land Environments. Thus indigenous vegetation within the urban areas is threatened at national, regional and district levels.

Trees in an urban landscape are important for a variety of reasons; ecological as well as aesthetic, economic, and cultural. The most ecologically valuable trees are found within ecological sites, which are remnants of original forests. Ecological sites are considered to be significant under S.6 of the RMA and meet Policy 23 of the Regional Policy Statement for the Wellington Region, as well as Policy 3.11 of the Proposed District Plan. The significance is because they reflect the underlying historical vegetation pattern, are reservoirs of genetic variability within a species and provide habitat for flora and fauna.

Unless Option 3 is implemented trees on urban allotments within ecological sites in the PDP will not be assured of regulatory protection. It is therefore recommended Option 3 is adopted and that Schedule 3.1 of the Proposed District Plan be amended to include, for each allotment that contains part of an ecological site, a list of tree species over 4m in height.

 Reflect the underlying historic pattern;

 Contribute to the species’ genetic diversity;

 Some are nationally at risk species;

 Often form the core in linkages and stepping stone habitat between ecologically important areas which encourages the flow of species;

 Many occur adjacent, or close, to ecological sites and therefore buffer these sites - as per PDP Policy 3.12(c);

 Provide habitats for a whole suite of species, from soil micro-organisms and fungi, to invertebrates, lizards, birds, hole nesting species and epiphytic plant species; and

 Provide large quantities of food for fauna.

Eight options (including Option 3 for ecological sites) for urban tree protection have been identified and formed the basis for the options considered in the 11 August 2015 recommending report to the Kāpiti Coast District Mayor and Councillors (Document SP-15-1666). We recommend that Option 3 for ecological sites be adopted and that Option 7 is the most practical and effective option for urban trees, or for a less conservative outcome, Option 6. We support these options for the following reasons:

 A non-regulatory approach (Options 1 and 2) is not likely to effectively protect important indigenous trees, and planting of indigenous trees cannot easily replace

DRAFT

the values of large old indigenous trees, because many decades (or even centuries) of growth are required to reach the old tree stage.

 Planted trees do not need to be protected (Option 4), because they have lower ecological value, and because non-regulatory methods can address the adverse effects of the loss of such trees.

 Option 7 protects important trees in ecological sites, and those that have biodiversity scores of 8 or greater elsewhere. This approach is supported because it captures a greater number of individuals of the slow growing and a greater number of specimens of rare indigenous tree species. Many of these trees occur in groups or in proximity to ecological sites, which will assist with maintaining ecological processes and biodiversity in urban areas, provides buffering of ecological sites and linkages to areas of ecological importance

 Option 8 would protect important trees in ecological sites, and then undertake a separate evaluation of trees under Option 6 and protect qualifying evaluated trees in the notable tree schedule. This option suffers from the same drawbacks as described for Option 6.

We recommend that Option 3 (ecological sites) and Option 7 (urban trees) are adopted.

We also support the more pragmatic tree trimming and modification rules that includes reference to the Arboriculture Association NZ best practice guideline for trimming of important trees listed in potential Proposed District Plan Schedules 3.1 and 3.2. This is a suitable and pragmatic approach to managing significant and important trees in the urban landscape, and will assist with maintenance of biodiversity in the urban environment.

We also recommend that a separate study be undertaken to identify which kānuka trees in the 2010 Urban Tree Database are the nationally threatened coastal kānuka species (Kunzea amathicola), and then undertake a further variation of Schedule 3.2 to include identified kānuka.

DRAFT

On 11 August 2015 the Council voted to accept preparation of a Variation to the Proposed District Plan relating to trees on urban allotments that occur within ecological areas (Option 3), and includes most of the higher biodiversity, all candidate trees with biodiversity scores of 9 and 10. This is an intermediate position between proposed Options 6 and 7. Council also voted to accept the recommendations regarding modification and trimming of trees in urban areas.

APPENDIX 2

ECOLOGICAL SITE URBAN TREE SURVEY - METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS

A survey of all urban allotments with trees contained within an ecological site was undertaken to enable identification of the tree species and approximate number of trees within ecological site boundary for each allotment.

METHODS

A letter drop to most target properties took place on 18 and 19 June, notifying occupiers that a survey was to take place in the week starting 22 June, the purpose of the survey, and that access onto the property would not be required. Parts of Waikanae did not receive this letter until the following week (22 and 23 June) due to adverse weather conditions and flooding.

The survey took place from 22 to 25 June 2015. The property boundaries and ecological site boundaries were mapped on to 2013 aerial photographs of urban areas in Ōtaki, Waikanae and Paraparaumu. The trees within an allotment were viewed using binoculars from outside the property, usually from the road, but occasionally from an adjacent reserve or nearby high point.

A rapid assessment form was completed for each property. The form included:

 Background information: • Date; • Time; • Weather conditions; • Landform (e.g. foot of hill, hill slope, dune); • Aspect (north, east, etc.); • Threats (weeds, disturbance, etc.); • Identification of any photos taken etc.).

 Ecological site number (K-number).

 Property address.

 Location of the trees included in the ecological site relative to allotment’s boundary.

 Tree species sighted.

 Estimated canopy height.

 Estimate of the total number of trees taller than 4 m within the stand.

 Adjacent trees within the allotment that were not included in the ecological site, including other indigenous and exotic trees.

DRAFT

All data collected were entered into an Excel spreadsheet along with the legal title for each property.

Occasional minor discrepancies between the mapped site boundaries and the observed limits of the ecological sites were noted on the survey form and more significant changes on the aerial maps also.

RESULTS

A total of 136 properties were surveyed which included parts of 13 ecological sites (Table A), and information from a previous survey was used for two properties. Fourteen properties were surveyed in addition to those originally targeted, because the status of those properties had changed (no longer vacant or now less than 4,000m2) or was likely to change in the near future (for sale sign).

Table A: Number of urban allotments surveyed per ecological site

Ecological Site Number of Properties K062 20 K067 3 K069 1 K070 13 K095 5 K124 6 K125 7 K133 8 K145 11 K150 27 K168 10 K197 4 K212 23 Total 138

Discrepancies between mapped ecological site boundaries and observations during the survey included:

 Small areas of the ecological site within a property that contained no indigenous vegetation (recommended to be removed from those properties);

 Areas of significant indigenous trees immediately adjacent ecological sites, but current excluded from the site (no action required at this time);

 Property addresses listed as vacant (no building) but were being built on (a rapid survey form completed and data entered into database);

 Property addresses listed as vacant but now contained an occupied building (a rapid survey form completed and data entered into database);

 Mismatches between physical addresses (street address and the number on the letterbox) and the addresses in the GIS system (noted on survey form and entered in database).

Of the properties surveyed:

 One hundred and fifteen need no changes to the site boundaries;

DRAFT

 The status of trees within ecological site boundaries on nine properties need to be further assessed because it was difficult to determine where property boundaries were;

 The ecological site boundary is proposed to be removed from eight properties because of a lack of indigenous vegetation with bounds of the ecological site on the property, and;

 Ecological site boundaries are recommended to be adjusted within the property for six allotments.

It is suggested that all adjustments to ecological site boundaries are incorporated to the overall GIS layer of ecological sites, and that these adjustments are included a variation to the Proposed District Plan.

Twenty-six locally indigenous tree species were recorded from within ecological sites on urban allotments. The most commonly recorded, occurred greatest on the number of urban allotments, species were māhoe (Melicytus ramiflorus), kohekohe (Dysoxylum spectabile), kawakawa (Piper excelsum), tītoki (Alectryon excelsus) and tawa (Beilschmiedia tawa) (Table B). It is estimated that at least 9,000 trees, taller than 4 m, occur within ecological site boundaries on private property.

Table B: Frequency of occurrence of locally indigenous tree species; number of allotments where this species occurred.

Due to the requirement to describe the trees and groups of trees from outside the property boundaries is was generally difficult to estimate the number of naturally occurring indigenous trees within the ecological site and within the property boundaries. Issues included:

 The view of stand was obscured by buildings or other trees;

DRAFT

 It was not possible to accurately determine the property boundaries;

 Only the top of the canopy could be viewed;

 The stand contained a very large number of trees, and could not be counted within the time allocated;

 The stand contained numerous small trees (stem diameter less than 5cm but taller than 4m in height), and;

 Occasionally the site could only be viewed from a distance.

Hence, the number of trees within each group (within the ecological site and property boundary) is an estimate. Legal advice was sought as to how best to enumerate the trees within a group on an allotment. Thus each tree or group of trees will be described as “A group of no less than XXX trees is located within the property in YYYLocation. The stand comprises the following species: …..”.

Some resident were home during the survey and sought further information from the Wildlands survey team, or invited the team on to their properties for closer inspection of the vegetation (three landowners), or provided feedback on their personal view of indigenous vegetation (generally positive). For the properties where the recommendation is for removal, one or two residents encountered expressed surprise their properties had been included, but were happy with the survey process.

Depending on legal advice as to how to enumerate the groups of trees these data should provide an adequate description of the trees within ecological sites on the urban lots that have been surveyed. Eight properties may require further on-site work due to uncertainty about the exact location of the property boundaries.

RECOMMENDATIONS

It is recommended that these data form the basis of the additional information to be included in Schedule 3.1 of the Proposed District Plan, describing the trees within ecological site boundaries for each allotment.

It is recommended that all adjustments to ecological site boundaries are incorporated to the overall GIS layer of ecological sites, and that these adjustments are included in a future variation.

Note that these trunk size, height, and age ratios are indicative only. Growth rates vary considerably according to growing conditions. For instance a study of puriri (Vitex lucens) found that a naturally established tree had growth rings of 1 mm, whereas a planted tree in a location of high nutrient input had growth rings of c.10 mm (Dijkgraaf 1994). Strong and salt laden winds can also significantly slow tree height growth; thus ‘short’ specimens growing in relatively hostile conditions may well be older than indicated by height alone.

CORRECTIONS AND CHANGES TO THE URBAN TREE DATABASE

The checking of the 2010 Urban Tree Database in 2015 resulted in some changes to correct minor errors, incorporate new scientific information, or related to tracking data through various scenarios.

Changes to the 2010 Urban Tree Database

 A new column with a unique identifier number for each ‘tree point’ (noting that some ‘tree points’ represent stands of multiple trees).  A new column that identifies whether the species is locally indigenous within the Kāpiti Coast District lowland area (for instance kāmahi, Weinmannia racemosa, occurs within the Kāpiti Coast District, but not generally in lowland areas).  Corrections and updating the scientific name of tree species (red font in Table 5 highlights correction) Table C: Corrections of species names.

Scientific name in 2010 database Corrected name Hoheria sextylosa Hoheria sexstylosa Nestigis lanceolata Nestegis lanceolata Nothofagus fusca Fuscospora fusca Nothofagus menziesii Lophozonia menziesii Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides Fuscospora cliffortioides Nothofagus solandri var. solandri Fuscospora solandri Nothofagus truncata Fuscospora truncata Pseudopanex ferox Pseudopanax ferox Pseudopanex laetus Pseudopanax laetus Steblus banksii Streblus banksii

 Adjustments to the minimum biodiversity score for the following species, provided the tree had a trunk circumference of 47 cm or larger (diameter of 15cm or larger) at 1.4m above the ground and was at least 4 m tall (Table 6).

# Kunzea ericoides with circumferences greater than 47 cm and height greater than 4 m in salt zone or dunelands have been included in the potential UTV tree points as they could be the At Risk- Declining species Kunzea amathicola. These trees need to be checked to confirm the species.

 Entries with errors, such as height = 0, or circumference = 0 have been removed from potential lists of trees to be included under options outlined in the UTV.  Species not local to the urban areas of Kāpiti Coast District (as per Ward 2014) have been removed from potential lists of trees.  Entries where the comments note that the trees have already been pruned at or close to 4 m in height have been removed.  The biodiversity score within all species was checked against height and circumference, if the biodiversity score seemed mismatched relative to other entries for the same species then the biodiversity score was adjusted to match other lines (and justification for the change provided in the comments), or that entry was removed from potential lists of trees to be included.  Data for faster-growing canopy species, kohekohe, tītoki, rewarewa and tōtara, were checked. Entries were removed from potential lists of trees to be included if the trees met one of the following criteria: • The biodiversity score was less than or equal to 7 and the tree less than 5 m in height or less than 95 cm in circumference. • The biodiversity score was 8 and the tree had a circumference of less than 47 cm (15 cm diameter).

Preparation of GIS layer for B=9 and B=10

One of the issues with the data is the error in the GPS locations for the trees, however the street address has been found to be largely accurate. To eliminate potential display issues (either in the GIS or on District Plan maps) it was decided to generate centroids for each property that contained one or more tree points (unique ID for each line, each line is associated with one GPS point, and lists one or more trees).

 The GPS coordinates were used to generate the legal description and cadastral address for each tree point.

DRAFT

 The cadastral address was compared to the address in the 2010 Urban Tree Database. Where the addresses didn’t match a manual correction was made to ensure that the 2010 Urban Tree Database address was assigned the correct legal description (i.e. the address in the 2010 Urban Database).

 Once this was done, a centroid was generated for each allotment, and all tree points for that allotment were linked to the centroid.

 This should enable the GIS system (and future LIM reports) to run a query for an allotment and obtain data for all the trees in Schedule 3.2 on that property.

INFORMATION FOR PROPOSED SCHEDULE 3.1 ECOLOGICAL SITES

This information is provided to populate a potential Schedule 3.1 (Ecological sites) of the Kāpiti Coast District Plan.

Tree means a woody plant 4 metres in height or greater and includes a Tree Fern, but excludes a vine with a stem diameter less than 50 mm.

Tree species that occur within the ecological site that are noted to be non-local, planted, or non-indigenous are deemed to be exempt from the proposed urban tree trimming and modification rules for Schedule 3.1, unless these trees feature in Schedule 3.2 Key Indigenous Trees or Schedule 10.1 (Notable trees). Trees that are identified as being adjacent are considered not to be within the ecological site, and are exempt from the proposed urban tree trimming and modification rules for Schedule 3.1, but these trees may feature in Schedule 3.2 (Key trees) or Schedule 10.1 (Notable trees). The notes list a number of points that require further clarification.
